Any tips against Demogorgon?

I know it seems odd but I was having trouble against a few demos and I don’t know why.

It's his annoying shread that the problem. It's the same as deathslinger they fake it like crazy and you can't do anything against it it seems. Also in my opinion he is too good with STBFL. The way they (and other killers) can avoid losing stacks because of the secondary ability is trash.

Does anyone have any tips?

    You can hear when demo is readying his shred. Use that and knowledge of knowing demo is going to likely use shred when you are seemingly committing to a vault, pallet, narrow passage, door, etc and change direction.


    id really suggest playing as demo for a few games so you can actually see the counter play in real time.

    Always destroy his portals and move unpredictably. You can see him readying up his shred, so don't go for pallets or vaults if he has it aimed on them.

    As usual, the best advice is to just split up against him and work on generators, as that is the best counter to any killer.

    Do gens. Even a God Demo will lose if you split gens well. That's the reason why he's so bad in a 1v4.

    Break the portals asap and never let him 3 gen

    If Demo gets a 3 gen, do NOT cleanse the portals far away from the 3 gen. It gives it free portals and benefits it more than it benefits your team. Also, if you hear Demo's sound effects after it teleports to a portal, that's your cue to get away.

    Try to be unpredictable in loops, and try not to fall for fakes. Demo has very good anti-loop (it's a monster in shack loops) that is very similar to Blight's so keep that in mind. You can also fake your window vaults to screw the Demo over.

    Honestly, that's actually been a bit of a problem that Demogorgon ha shad since release. Not much you can do except try and fake things and hope the Demogorgon in question is a bit terrible. Still, it's at least a lot more difficult than PH or Slinger, and a fair bit more situational. For example, around short loops there's not much a demo can do, unless it's one of those junk tiles with a long, flat wall.

    Play against Demo the same way you would play against Huntress, the only difference is his zoning is much better and he can't hit you over small tiles. The way we normally run tiles against the average killer (always going for fast vaults and straight lines) don't work against a good Demo with rat liver, those will be free hits almost all the time. You have to run differently and avoid running in long lines. Shack is basically a death sentence and if you get there you better be prepared to either just throw the pallet right away or take the hit at the window and then use the speed boost to get somewhere like you would against Bubba or Billy. If you're the obsession make him work to get a shred on you. Don't greed normal junk loop pallets. Autohaven cars will be free hits if the Demo is good and knows how to surf off the collision. And...Idk that's about it.
